Credit card fraud is incredibly destructive to the fabric of social commerce.
When a credit card is stolen or its information illegally obtained, thieves
often attempt to buy products online pretending to be you, the cardholder. This
is bad for you; but it's even worse for us.

That's why we follow a stringent set of anti-fraud procedures specifically
designed to prevent anybody from successfully placing an order with us using
a bogus or stolen credit card.

Anti-Fraud Checks

For your protection, every order must pass a strict series of automated and
manual anti-fraud checks. eWay,
who provide our secure online credit card processing facility, automatically
carry out several of these checks in real time. Once we receive your order,
we carry out our own checks and only once we are satisfied that the order, delivery
and billing addresses are legitimate will your order be processed.

We want to protect both you, the customer, and us, the business, from fraudulent
transactions. To date we have a 100% fraud detection rate and zero customer
chargebacks (a chargeback happens when the victim of the fraud disputes a fraudulent
transaction placed by an unauthorised person and the merchant i.e. Embryo Films,
would be forced to offer a full refund).

Additionally, please note that your IP address is logged and submitted with
every order, to help us ensure the authenticity of your order, and allow us
to track its source, in the event of any fraudulent activity.

Suspcious Order Delays

We have a policy of holding any orders that appear suspicious in any way. Orders
may be held prior to shipping for the following reasons:

Order is placed from a suspcious IP address (e.g., proxies, unrouteable,
anonymous)

If an order is suspcious in any way, we will follow up with the customer, usually
by telephone. If we cannot reach you by phone, we will hold the order until
we hear from you. We regret that these steps are necessary, but we hope to serve
you for many years into the future, and would rather not let fraudulent activities
send us to an early demise.

How to Avoid Delays

We would much rather ship your order immediately. But since this transaction
is done entirely over the internet, we need a way to verify each others' identity.
We prove our identity with our Security Seal from Comodo, an internationally
recognised independent third-party Trust Authority (who does not provide the
seal without sighting acceptable proof of identification from us, including
our formal Australian business paperwork).

To expedite your order, we simply request that you make it easy for us to verify
your identity, as well. (And we take our Privacy
Policy very seriously, so your information is safe with us.)

Here's how to avoid your order being deemed "suspicious":

Place the order with a valid, current credit card owned by you (and,
yes, we can check that you are the rightful owner) -- avoid ordering with
someone else's card.

The shipping address and billing address should be the same. If you're
ordering a gift for someone, it's a good idea to state that in the comments
box, and/or have the item shipped to you, instead.

The billing address on the order should be the credit card's billing
address. The more consistent your order and its information are, the more
likely your order is legitimate.

Your email address should be with your ISP or registered domain.
Orders placed from free email addresses (e.g., Hotmail, Yahoo, and
about 1000 others) are automatically flagged as suspicious. This
is because most fraudulent orders are placed through free email accounts.
We always recommend ordering with your ISP's email address (e.g., Comcast,
Bigpond, AOL, etc), or through your verifiable domain name.

Ensure that your credit card is not declined or rejected for any reason,
including insufficient funds, overseas order blocking (which is the default
for many American credit card companies), or expired dates.

Provide a valid, current telephone number. We will only call if there's
a problem with your order, or if your order is flagged as suspicious.

Fraud Prevention Put Into Perspective

Note that these anti-fraud measures should be (and usually are) taken
by any legitimate business, whether online or offline. There's
nothing very new here. It's just our way of protecting you and us.

We examine all orders carefully, and determine the likelihood of problems on
a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to deny any order. But it's extremely
rare.

Remember, the vast majority of people are honest. We assume you are, too. If
yours is a normal order, don't worry too much about all this. We're just looking
out for the both of us.

We believe you'd do the same.

Let's build our relationship on mutual trust and respect. We look forward
to doing business with you.
